We did this recently but have found it not to be worth it so far. Even though the power company switchs out the meter for free, it has not saved us much money. Last month it saved us a whopping $2. And we used our energy during the time of the lower rates by doing laundry and other higher energy consuming activities. We are giving it one more month and if the savings are still so meager, we are switching back to the regular meter.</p> Tue, 14 Oct 2008 09:19:25 -0400 slfore comment 11529 at http://projects.newsobserver.com http://projects.newsobserver.com/taking_stock/101_money_saving_ideas <!-- Begin check for Blog Icon --> <!-- End check for Blog Icon --> <!-- Begin check for Teaser Toggle --> <div class="field-item"><p>I just wanted to say<strong> thank you</strong> to everyone who has submitted money-saving ideas over the past few weeks on this blog.
